THE ALICE IN WONDER BAND
Delightful folk band including Mick Rodwell, Gill Warnell on accordion and
concertina, and Kay Tierney on mandolin (all previously from ceilidh band

performances at folk clubs, events, and a spot at the 12 Bar Club, until Kay's
return to Ireland. Repertoire included songs and instrumental tunes, from
Ireland, the UK and Brittany.
David Burns and mandolas
